Excellent idea, thanks for sharing.  Does the table portion also pivot?

Yes.  I made a plywood plug for the top tube, and a half inch bolt goes through the trough, through that plug, and fastened with a stopnut so I could put some friction tension on the bolt and have it hold that tension.

Auxillary workstand
Posted by Don Stauffer on Wednesday, October 3, 2012 9:25 AM

I had mentioned in another forum about a week ago (subject workbench mods) an auxillary workstand that I use a lot for rigging.  This is a homemade stand adjustable for height, which is nice for rigging (my workbench is a fixed height.  The stand is made from two sizes of PVC drain pipe.  One fits down inside the other.  I have holes drilled every inch in the outer piece, and I put a long bolt through a pair of these holes to set the height.  Allows me to rig top of mast areas without holding my arms way up in the air (and I can see better).
